Ohio State-Florida A&M: Sights, stats and sounds

Quotable
“It’s not because he had the buckeye in his pocket or his lucky T-shirt. It’s because he worked hard with the position coach to get ready for his opportunity. And boy did he.” OSU coach Urban Meyer on record-setting QB Kenny Guiton
“We have a great stable of running backs. It’s hard to get a spot and hold a spot when the guys around you are so great.” OSU freshman Ezekiel Elliott
“I’ve never heard of having too many weapons being a bad thing.” OSU receiver Evan Spencer
“First and foremost, the reason you come and play this type of game is to see where you are as a team.” FAMU coach Earl HolmesBy the numbers

Ohio State wore memorial stickers on their helmets on Saturday in memory of Maria Tiberi, daughter of longtime Ohio sportscaster Dom Tiberi.
Maria Tiberi, an Ohio State student, was killed in a car accident earlier this week.
The OSU players took the memorial stickers seriously. Two hours before the game, receiver Chris Fields posted a photo on Twitter of the sticker on his helmet and wrote, “This one is for you Maria.”Classy script
Ohio State’s halftime show included the customary performance of Script Ohio. But this rendition had a special touch to it. A band consisting of seeing-impaired members spelled out “Ohio” in braille while the OSU band spelled “Ohio.”Speed bump
The highlight of the day for many observers came on Jordan Hall’s 18-yard touchdown run in the early second quarter. Hall cut to the right, where umpire Jim Krogstad inadvertently was steamrolled by a FAMU defender, giving Hall a clear path to the end zone.
